i personally think hes one of the few real rappers def Jam has to offer....along with Method Mad, Ghostface and Redman...and of course Jay....wats yall opinion

Straight. Joe's got sum real lyrics that's hot. People always be bitchin bout him not havin hot beats tho. I think they're aight and he is mos def one of the few real rappers in the game today.

he is dope ... lyrical and is one of the best rappers in the game right now and his album was a good album but had a few flaws but the great songs on it overshadowed those flaws and his mood muzik mixtapes were probobly 2 of the best mixtapes ever ... he doesnt get the respect he deserves ...

^^ Said it all really...

I'm confused at how people called Joe Budden wack:
Pump It Up
Fire (2nd verse... Listen to it)
Stand Up Nukka
Calm Down
10 Mins
Walk With Me

^ All quality songs... and the chick-songs were also pretty good.

Joe Budden is dope......I got a couple of his mixtapes in the deck nigga really is holdin it down for Jersey.....

i personally don tlike some of his beat selections but over all he's one of the few rappers who can actually...wel....rap.....i was honestly surprised when i was at my girls house and she put on Joe Buddne "She Wanna Know" and recited the whole thing.....

hey can yall post up a list of yall favorite Joe Budden Trax

just to name a few off the top ...

off of the joe budden album -

intro
walk with me
calm down
stand up nucca
10 mins

3 songs i was listening to earlier that are off of the mood muzik mixtapes -

def jam diss
last real nigga alive
three sides to a story

i've only heard him on marques houston's "12 o clock"

He got 1 album out and i loved that.....but it's too bad game killed him with all those disses.

naw bro Game did not win...he only won because he was seen as a harder rapper, he was new, and he was wit G-unit....check some lines from Joe Budden's G-Unit Diss "Big Shot"

About Game:
Far as the kid Game he's Lame to Say the Least
he's mad he's from the West so he Converted to The East
all they talk about him & his man that they Blast Pounds
but when u see him he's just Dancing in the Background
I tore Game Apart
thought by now this Asshole would have a Change Of Heart
Especially when i got the Tape of this GANGSTA on Change Of Heart
Teary Eyed cause his Shorty had a Change OF Heart
but i smell something fishy theres a Con in the Air
Slacks, his tongue pierced, Streaks Blonde in His Hair\
who's he Playin Wit, keep Sayin ****
and your body will take the same tour Reagans Did
Still trying to get a buzz embarressed the kids hurtin
hes reachin, hes losing his head hes Nick Berg man

About 50 Cent:
Yeah yeah, its ya boy boy, listen to em
I think maybe the steroids is finally gettin to em
Or maybe its people believin all the hard raps
Or maybe it's the tank tops with the bra straps
Maybe he's really believing he's a Heeving like dude he stole his name from
dude aint the Same none
nuthin's hard Body about him he's like Puddin
so here we are Feet in the floor wit his White Goodman
so i can sit & wait til ur Team just Sobb's
or i can go and get u Picked no Screens Involved
i get u Off'd For a Clip no Fiend's Involved
or we can take it One Further, Get Queens Involved
where the know he went to jail, Never over a Banger
but he Went to Bootcamp, Not in Pop wit The Gangsta's

And he got em again on "Heartbeatology" but i dun feel liek postin the lyrics (and i cant find em)

Yea', but game smashed buddens in 100 bars and running.....some pretty hot lines there, aswell.

Buddens is dope....but he lacking the production
and advertising that Game has to be successful.....

Joe Budden is a great rapper, I'm looking forward to his new album
